Wonderful experience!

A truly fantastic experience! Clesio and our ranger Winston were fantastic. Winston was so knowledgeable about the animals and we saw so many, including a leopard. There was one other tourist with me and we had the whole open safari vehicle to ourselves! Cannot recommend enough!

Operator response

Thank-you for your review! We should perhaps just clarify, however, that we dont ALWAYS offer free upgrades to open safari vehicles. We are able to do this because we had another booking. We're glad you had a memorable day!

Great day trip to see animals

Great experience to see lots of animals in their safe habitat. The pick up from our hotel was right on time, the guide who was also the driver, was excellent. He was a good driver gave us a lot of information about the animals. I think next time we would make sure that we are in one of the open air vehicles. We were in a van, which was very nice with side windows that rolled down and also the comfort of air-conditioning, but the open air, I think would be the way to go. I thought it was an excellent value for the money. Ours did not include Park entrance fee.

Neither good nor bad

Tired. I didn't see a lion. Very big park. There is a lack of better communication between guides. You're tired of getting around the same paths. Tired.

Operator response

De facto as condições neste momento estão complicadas. Desde as cheias de Janeiro e Fevereiro quase todas as estradas de terra batida continuam fechadas, assim só podemos circular nas estradas principais de alcotrão neste momento. Acredito que até Abril a situação voltará a normal no SUL do parque. O norte continua com muitos constrangimentos.

Best decision and great safari

This safari was amazing! Everything was super well coordinated including clear avdance communication. I didnt have super high expectations of a one day economic safari, but it was as good as any multi day or higher end tour. My guide Alfainho was incredible, super friendly and generous in sharing his knowledge, and generally just good vibes all around to spend a day with. He spotted all sorts of wildlife, and I saw as much if not more animals as I have on many other safaris. While sightings can never be guaranteed as its up to nature, Kruger definitely delivers and its totally possible to see a diverse array of incredible wildlife and big 5 no matter where you go in the park if youre lucky. Amongst some of the many many animals I saw, there was lion who just made a wildabeast kill, elephants, buffalo and just missed a leopard and cub and therr were reported sightings of cheetahs on the routes we travelled.
